I'll wait until a realistic gas mileage rating by the EPA is done before commenting. I don't buy it.

Not sure it will achieve quite that number with US testing, but it isn't coming to the USA And costs I've read between $50,000 and $150,000 US dollars

An aluminum and carbon fiber hybrid sounds like it would cost several times more than the 'economically feasible' $10,500.

Nah 10k sounds about right, it'll be made in China. They just need to keep the workforce captive, pay them in food and surround the factory with suicide nets.
